So thrilled for you, Martin. Gave me a little golden glow on your behalf. There is no greater tribute than to be recognised and praised by your peers.<br /><br />By the way (while I'm here!) must say how wonderful a read The Golden Age Of Murder is. Trouble is, it is taking me an AGE to get through (not like me at all!) as I have to keep reeling away from the pages to digest, ponder, smile and be amazed by. Sometimes I can only read a single paragraph before having to walk away to think. Now, that is the sign of not only a great book, but also great insight, great writing and great brain food.<br /><br />The conclusion is: read Martin Edwards at your peril. Your day will disappear and all that gardening, washing up and dog walking will be relegated to later. You have been warned!<br /><br />(Good, innit?)<br /><br />Thank you Martin!<br /><br />Liz GilbeyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-72388033806658018202015-06-24T18:11:26.745+01:002015-06-24T18:11:26.745+01:00That's a heck of a list to have your name adde...That's a heck of a list to have your name added to.
